The answer to this important question can be found in a gem of a verse from the Bible - "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others" - Philippians 2:4. These words were perfectly modeled by Jesus when He walked on earth.
To successfully lead your team you need to not only know where you are going, but also be sure that some part of you is connected into the people supposed to be following your example or lead. Otherwise, it is possible that we may have set ourselves very high goals without really practicing or achieving them first, because nobody is following us. Confucius said, "a leader without followers is just a person going for a walk".
A team member can have a strong relationship and connection with the rest of the team as a Leader only when he or she proves to them by reaching goals & targets as a team player first. A team member who acts with a servant-leadership attitude by not letting his or her position or pride in abilities do not get in the way is essential to one who wants to take on the role of a leader. A team member can lead others in a manner that together everyone achieves their goals.
A good example is again found in the life of Jesus when He was teaching the huge mass of people who were following him around to listen to His teachings. He did not forget to feed them when they were hungry. He showed how could don the important role of a team member and still be a leader.
The same principle applies to our SFI and TripleClicks business as well.
